You could if you wanted to with the Bufo Alvarius aka Colorado River toad but it would make you very sick. So people smoke the toad venom at a high tempature so that the Bufotein(sp?) is burned off and all that remains is the 5-meo-Dmt.

Yeah, people have been consuming toad venom for ages. Hippies in Australia used to boil cain (B. Marinus) toads and drink the water. As far as bufotenin, why would you want to "burn it off?" It's a psychedelic in its own right. God... Anyway, yeah you can but licking them won't work. Some tribes way out in the middle of the jungles actually use poison dart frogs as a ritual intoxicant. They take a stick and place it in the fire then burn themselves on a spot somewhere. They then take a stick and rub the frog then rub the wound and spend a couple days wasted in the woods. I haven't done a lot of research on poison dart frog venom but the different colored frogs produce toxins that seem to effect different parts of the brain. I remember reading somewhere the one species had a venom that acted similar to an opoid but hundreds of times more powerful than morphine.

the bufo toads are actually quite poisonous. Touching one in a way that makes it release it's venom through the skin can kill a child and seriously put an adult through a toxic experience.

As it has been noted here, the way to use the toad venom properly is to "milk it" by stimulating the toad to release it's venom by rubbing it, and collecting the venom and drying it and smoking it. Don't eat it!!!!

Some info on why toad venom might be a bad idea:

Homer Simpson licks toads in some episodes!

I licked a toad. It didn't get me high. Now we're divorced. ;-)

But seriously, um, why? I heard about this years ago and I just have to wonder what kind of fantastic reviews I'd have to hear to want to lick a toad.

I heard that birds, I think they were cranes, eat those toads on purpose to trip.
